Is this supports HDMI 1.4a or something else? Hi,I am looking for a HD player with HDMI. Which HDMI version to be checked?

I read online that even HDMI 1.3 would work for 3D (provided you have the PS3 firmware update 3.5)So this projector should work I think. I am thinking of buying this too for the Ps3 to play 3D.

Thanks DrNegative for both of your posts. The information provided will help me a lot.

The Optoma HD20 supports HDMI 1.3a. However, you could buy a Blu-ray player with w/HDMI 1.4 if you wanted and it will be backwards compatible.Version 1.4 basically added support and more bandwidth for 3-D Blu-ray.

HDMI 1.3 would work (by using lossy sound and dedicating the HDMI 1.3's smaller bandwidth to the 3D only..which in essence is what the PS3 is doing to accomplish this), but unfortunately you need 120 Hz (60 Hz each eye) for active 3D to work, which the HD20 will not do. You could have a passive 3D setup (two HD20's with two Optoma 3D-XL Converter Boxes) with a polarized screen, but this will start to get expensive real fast. At this point, the 720p 120Hz projectors are the only cheap option.It will be awhile before a 3D ready 1080p projector falls into this price range although the first models have arrived if you have at least $5k to spend. Just a pitfall of early adoption.

Please. I'd like to know if you have tested this projector with the ps3 and a bluray 3D. Is itwhat I've been looking for?

I've tried a few different video types but all through a smart bluray player. What are you playing? based on how it seems to function id say that should work.

You shouldn't have trouble with any player, not sure what the issue is. I have mine hooked up to HDMI2 port on the TV.When I use my player I need to change the port within the input to HDMI2 everytime I use the player.

Not at this time, it has HDMI 1.4. Who knows if HDMI 2.0 will be available via firmware update

All HDMI cords supports 3D, despite any marketing ploy some companies make to try to convince people to update their cords to 1.4

Do other inputs to the receiver work? No idea why yours does not. I have our receiver (monitor) connected to HDMI 1 and as the receiver switches inputs the TV displays well. Sorry I cannot help any more.

Beats me. I could not get this player to work for me. I would have sent back except cost more than worth. Sorry I can't help you

What you saw was true.This Philips DVD player -just like any other Philips DVD player- can not play DivX or XviD files if the video resolution of the file is above "720×480". If you try to play you get the message "video resolution not supported".Actually, "1080p HDMI" is nothing more than a slogan. It's a lie.

Thanks for the reply. So as far as we know, is there any model coming with the benefits of the 9040, and HDMI 1.4?

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc... Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

This one has 1.3 for sure. I think all 2007 models have 1.3. Having HDMI 1.3 is not as big as an issue as you may think it is. But if it concerns you, rest assured this HDTV has it.

Mine works also, I've tried it with HDMI and component using RCA audio cables. Bad thing is the player only outputs 480p? i? not sure through component if your using HDMI at the same time. My LG player doesn't do that..

Are you going through the component outputs? The player only upconverts through the HDMI cable if I understand it correctly. Has something to do with the copyright protection. Switch to HDMI if you can. Goodluck!

This television runs on hdmi 1.4 and nvidia 3d vision is only compatible with 1.3, not 1.4. I know, sad right? It is honestly the only reason I do not own this television.

I'm assuming it's the hdmi cable. I just ordered my tv so I can't be certain, but from what I've read I don't think this tv is hdmi 1.3 compatible.
